What it is

FasterEFT (now marketed as eutaptics® FasterEFT) is a self-applied tapping method. It grew out of the EFT tradition, but its founder rejects EFT's meridian and energy-disruption explanation. In his model, a problem has two parts: a stored memory or "reference" (the proof) and the emotional charge…

Format

• Structure of a round. The organisation describes a round of about 30 seconds: (1) Aim, (2) Tap / Release, (3) Peace, (4) Check, (5) Repeat. The founder groups these as the "A.R.T. of Change®": Aim, Release, Transform. Rounds are repeated until the target has "flipped" to its opposite. He says…
• Generalise and anchor. The client uses the wrist-and-breath anchor and self-tapping on daily triggers. The organisation's free course presents FasterEFT as a daily process: "Tap on everything that bothers you."

Who practises it, and how they are trained or regulated

• Training and certification route. Skills To Change Institute, Inc. (Robert Gene Smith) runs four levels:
• Level 2: a 7-day seminar on working with others, practising with fellow students. This is the start of practitioner training.
• All four levels plus "a minimum number of hours" of peer practice are required to become a certified Eutaptics Practitioner. The number of hours is not published on that page. Certification is issued by the founder's own organisation; no independent accrediting body is named. One trainee described the route as a four-year programme in Las Vegas.

Evidence status, as the guide reports it

• Evidence status in one line: the organisation cites no controlled research, and independent evidence for this specific method is unverified.

Questions to explore with your client

• What drew you to it, and what are you hoping it will change?
• Is there physical contact? Was it explained beforehand, and do you feel free to say no or stop at any point?
• Does it involve any substance, plant preparation, remedy or supplement? Has your doctor or prescriber been told, especially about any medication you take?
• Does it involve intense or unusual breathing? Have you been told about the medical conditions for which that is not advised?
• Is it a group, retreat or community? How do they respond if someone wants to leave or raises a concern?
• Who runs it, and what training or registration do they hold?
• What actually happens in a session or meeting, and how often?
• What does it cost, and is there pressure to commit to more?
• How do you feel afterwards, in the hours and days that follow?
• Does it fit with, or clash with, the work we do here?

What practitioners of it watch for

• Clients being pulled into re-living; keep contact brief. Elements lose charge one by one.
• Hot spots in trauma memories. Use the trauma-safety steps (4.19). The client can run past the moment without spiking.
• The page gives no screening, dissociation or stopping guidance, so add 4.19. Ratings fall across rounds and the client stays present.
• The same validation concerns as 4.6; let the client set the target picture. Faces change spontaneously without the client forcing the image.
• Clients who cannot visualise. Work with felt or auditory qualities instead. The qualities shift, for example quieter, smaller, further away.

When to involve someone else

• New or worsening physical symptoms, or advice to stop or change prescribed medication: involve the client's doctor or prescriber.
• Signs of coercion, isolation from family and friends, escalating costs or secrecy: discuss openly and consider safeguarding.
• A crisis or thoughts of suicide: follow your crisis protocol. In the US, call or text 988; in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans on 116 123.
